Kuching ART plans 15-minute intervals, with railway heritage guiding central station
-
Kuching’s planned Autonomous Rapid Transit service is being envisaged at 15-minute intervals, but that proposed frequency is not yet a passenger timetable.
Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said he had been briefed on the intended service frequency when speaking at the Sarawak Urban Forum in Kuching on Oct 26, according to DayakDaily.
For commuters, the distinction matters: an interval describes the intended gap between services. It does not by itself establish operating hours, the first and last departures, fares or a date when passengers can begin using the system. His remarks did not announce those details.
Abang Johari also linked the planned central station to Sarawak’s former railway heritage, saying the site had been the state’s first railway station. He presented that historical connection as part of integrating modern transport with the city’s identity.
The speech took place at Hikmah Exchange Event Centre. That is the forum venue, not a station address established by the report. The new information concerns service planning and the central station’s heritage rationale, rather than the start of public operations.
